My Kids Are Listening

All of these thoughts are about older two, this guy is the "easy" one 
Sometimes they protest, sometimes they debate, sometimes they challenge, but ultimately what I ask gets done, and when I say no, with much hesitation they oblige. We are using a sticker system, that I have made into something simple and exciting for my kids, and I keep on emphasizing what I am looking for, and at the end of the month they get something they really want.  Luckily my kids are happy with simple and small stuff, my daughter saw shoes she really liked, so I got them but told her she cannot wear them until the month is over and she completes her chart. It was hard for her to digest, because its so close she can feel it, but I keep explaining, and she keeps listening, Thank God!

Now my mission is to get a system for my PE classes, some structure, and it is completely up to me to create it.  I really want my class to be the place where I can respect the kids as young adults and let them relax and have fun a bit, but nonetheless there must be boundaries.  My mom says that I was a kid that just got boundaries.  I love being easygoing in my work with adults, but with kids I am focusing on making a fun and exciting learning experience.  With adults its about being so grateful to just turn off from the world and tune into yourself, kids don't want to turn off, that is their amazing full of life nature, that is the way it should be.

Focus on the positive,
Reward and Recognize,
Enjoy the Experience,
These are life lessons,
For kids and adults,
Deep Down We all Want To Connect and Be Seen For Who We Really Are,
Coach Yulia
